Transcriber's Notes:

* indicates an omission or error on the part of the original 
recorder.

? indicates letters or words that cannot be read due to the quality 
of the original document.

The column labeled The Country to Which They Intend to Become Inhabitants 
has been omitted.  For passenger #1, on list #1, in this column is U States.  
Beginning with Passenger #168 on page 5, different column headings were used.  
The columns at that point become Name of Passenger, Age, Country of Birth, Last 
Legal Residence, Country Claiming Allegiance, Occupation and Remarks, Baggage.  
The Country Claiming Allegiance column is blank throughout list #2.  The 
transcriber is under the impression that all passengers were intending to become 
residents of the United States.

Following the numbered list of passengers is a list of 26 passengers who 
had previously been in America.  Most include the name of the ship on which they 
traveled and the month and/or year of arrival.  Although this is valuable information, 
it presents somewhat of a mystery, for, in several cases as indicated, the names do 
not correspond to any of the passengers listed on the ship.  Were passenger names 
left off the passenger list?  Spelling errors can account for two or three, but not 
for all of those not found.  

  Evory Cerzen - No passenger name comes even close to this.  Is it a
    passenger name left out?  
  William Blaney - could be passenger #22, Wm B?asny. 
  Henry Snape - passenger #170.  
  William Ferguson - passenger #223.
  Mich Gibney - passenger #307 - There was a Ship Ashland in service at that time.
  Anne Barrett - passenger #198.
  Sarah Ferguson - passenger #224.
  Mary Walsh - There were two passengers with this name:  #289 and #324.
    There was a Ship Edgar in service at that time.
  Anne Walsh - No corresponding passenger.
  Thomas Ryan - passenger #312.
  Mary Ryan - passenger #313.
  Lucy A Murphy - passenger #311.
  Anne Boyd - passenger #196.
  Levi Hoskinson - probably the same as passenger #131, Levi Hoskiso.
  Enoch Whatmough - passenger #230.
  Anne Skelly - No corresponding passenger.
  Oliver Best - passenger #296.
  Patt Garrigan - passenger #308.  Ship Columbia was in service at that time.
  Thos Whittaker - passenger #45.  Ship Benjamin Adams was in service at that time.
  Mich Brennan - passenger #32.
  Wm Clancy - could be same as passenger #42, Wm Glancy, although the 'C' is clear.
  Neil McConnell - passenger #261, Neal McConnell.  Ship Affghan was in service
    at that time.
  John Whitehead - passenger #124.
  Thomas Devine - No corresponding passenger.  Ship City Sailor or Tailor or Failor?
  Edward Dunne - No corresponding passenger.
  James Briggs - passenger #41.  Ship Cowley or Coroley Magnum or Magnus.


The following are first-name abbreviations that the recorder may have used:

Thos  - Thomas
Jos   - Joseph
Wm    - William
Patk  - Patrick
Mich  - Michael
Cath  - Catherine
Margt - Margaret

The first names spelled Patt are all clearly written with two t's.

#171 Abitn? - the ? looks like a 'z', Abitnz.  No part of the letter is below the
     line.  The recorder made a 'z' like a very small capital E or a backwards 
     3.  Maybe should have been Abnitz or Abintz?

#174 Porle?chley - Porleuchley, Porlevchley, Porlenchley.

#180 Wm ? Mitchell - The initial could be an 'I' or a 'J'.

#194 Robert ? Campbell - The initial could be an 'I' or a 'J'.

#216 Mary Me??an - Either Mechan or Muhan.

#236 & #237  Patt Maher and Margt Magher - These two passengers are most 
     likely married, with one name misspelled.  For the 6 children following 
     Margt, the writer used a ditto for the last names. 

#255 Sarah Fe??y - Either Fehy or Felzy.

#260 George Brie?? - Looks like Briend, Brient, or Brierd.

#264 Patrick Fr???? - Looks like Freind or Freusch but could be Friend.

#282 Caxen?y - The ? could be a 'c' or an 'e', Caxency, Caxeney.   

#299 Joan La??hopper - After the 'La' is a line which extends up a little taller
     than the 'a' or the next letter.  Could be Laenhopper, Lalnhopper, Lamhopper,
     or even Lanhopper.
